Around this production

Though the show had music by Rudolf Friml and lyrics by Harbach and Hammerstein, it ran only 61 performances, falling short of their earlier hit Rose-Marie.

If British names were wholly responsible for the new production, many were impressive. The choreographer was Robert Helpmann, already a principal dancer at Sadler’s Wells Ballet and soon to become a noted actor and director, going on to stage Camelot at Drury Lane in the 1960s.
